1. A Tree Planting Site-Specific Fumigant Applicator for Orchard CropsThe goal of this research was to use recent advances in the global positioning system and computer technology to apply just the right amount of fumigant where it is most needed (i.e., in the neighborhood of each tree planting site or tree- planting-site-specific application) to decrease the incidence of replant disease, and achieve the environmental and economical benefits of reducing the application of these toxic chemicals. In the first year of this study we retrofitted a chemical applicator... S.K. Upadhayaya, V. Udompetaikul, M.S. Shafii, G.T. Browne |
2. UAV-based Phenotyping of Nitrogen Responses in Winter Wheat: Grain Yield and Nitrogen Use EfficiencyIn the face of escalating global demand for wheat, influenced by burgeoning populations and changing consumption patterns, a profound understanding of determinants like precision nutrient management becomes indispensable. In an on-farm experiment conducted at the Dürnast Research Station in southern Bavaria from 2022 to 2023, we investigated the effects of nitrogen (N) treatments on 18 European winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars. The field trial design encompassed three distinct... J. Zhang, K. Yu |
3. Optimizing Vineyard Crop Protection: an In-depth Study of Spraying Drone Operational ParametersIn modern agriculture, the precise and efficient application of agrochemicals is essential to ensure crop health and increase productivity while minimizing adverse environmental impacts. While traditional spraying methods have long been the cornerstone of crop protection, the introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones), has led to a revolutionary era in agriculture. UAVs offer novel opportunities to improve agricultural practices by providing precision, efficiency,... V. Psiroukis, S. Fountas, H. Uyar, A. Balafoutis, A. Kasimati |
